While I'm obviously biased as I wrote iPeng, I have to agree what's been said above. iPeng and SqueezePad really follow somewhat different paradigms.
SqueezePad tries to be as close to the other Squeezebox UI's as possible to make it familiar for Squeezebox users and flatten the learning curve while my goal with iPeng is to make the long-term experience as efficient as possible. Most iPeng users use the App every day and typically also several times per day so I believe it pays to invest a few minutes of learning to get quicker access to the functionality through a flatter menu hierarchy, it's "play modes" to speed up playlist building, direct access to all your players etc. Also, iPeng has been around for longer than the current iteration of the Squeezebox UI so it has some UI history of it's own that sometimes borrows more from other iPad Apps than the Squeezebox universe. Same on the UI appearance. SqueezePad tries to keep a clean look by using a lot of whitespace (ok, black space) around UI elements and accepts to show actual library content only in a very small part of the screen while iPeng tries to free up as much space for actual library content as possible so that it can show things like large artwork while browsing, which in turn probably makes the overall appearance more crammed. It's really a question between: Do you want to stay as closely to the familiar Squeezebox UI as possible and accept it's limitations (SqueezePad is still performing much better than the Logi App or SqueezePlay) or do you want to get as much as possible out of it and accept that it might sometimes behave or look a bit differently. Both Apps have all the functionality of the Logitech App or SqueezePlay plus some features you don't get on any other controller. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97366 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
